JAKARTA - Marseille beat Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 at Stade Velodrome on Tuesday, September 23, 2025, early morning WIB.

The record ended Marseille's record 12 consecutive home defeats against defending champions. Not only that, but PSG had to be evicted from the top of Ligue 1 2025/2026.

The start of the season Luis Enrique's troops - won four Ligue 1 matches - were damaged by Marseille. Les Parisiens are now packing 12 points, the same as AS Monaco, who are now leading the standings.

In a rescheduled match following a storm warning in southern France on Sunday, September 21, 2025, Marseille took the lead after just five minutes and did not appear to be releasing the win.

Nayef Aguerd jumped high to receive a cross. Goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier came out and failed to block him so the Morocco centre-back could head the ball into an empty net.

PSG dominated possession, but the home team was more dangerous and unlucky because they were only one goal ahead in the first half.

Amine Gouiri hit the crossbar after 25 minutes and a few seconds later the other goal was disallowed for offside.

The second half was a repeat of the first half with PSG more possession of the ball, but failed to penetrate Marseille's tight defense, which goalkeeper Geronimo Rulli performed brilliantly.

"We should have won. We controlled the game, played well, it's just that maybe something is missing," PSG midfielder Illia Zabarnyi told DAZN.

Marseille celebrated three points with enthusiasm, even after coach Roberto De Zerbi was sent off after arguing with the referee.

This victory extended Marseille's brilliant home record in the league to three wins in three games. They collected nine points from five matches and moved up to sixth.

This is the first time they have recorded a consecutive clean-sheet at home in Ligue 1 since December 2023.

The winning goal is also the first in record meetings against PSG at home from the last six matches.

Meanwhile, many PSG players were unable to attend the Ballon d'Or award ceremony in Paris on Tuesday, September 23, 2025, early morning WIB. In fact, nine PSG players were nominated for the men's player award.
